[Wang Xiaoying/China Daily] |
Among the excited shopaholics and selfie-takers among China's outbound travelers is another group - more serious and usually carrying their medical records.
They are going for medical treatment abroad and many are traveling for a last chance at life.
Xue Lingling is one of the lucky ones.
When Xue's face began swelling up, she visited numerous doctors in different hospitals, before a reputed hospital in Shanghai finally diagnosed her condition as non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Her immediate and constant question was: how long will I live?
The answers were ambiguous and pessimistic. Doctors in China told her that she might have to undergo an operation that had a low success rate and would scar her face.
She refused to accept this and decided to go to the United States for treatment.
